I'm not certain if I have their mutations right or not. Here are photos of the pair maybe you all can correct me if I'm wrong and let me know what I'll get from them. (I did use a flash on these two pics, but all in all the colors are still very close, both just very soft pale colors). Thanks Chrissy Link to comment

We need to consider Dominance in recessives here. Greywing is domminant to Dilute so the outcome will be. 50% yellowface all the chicks will be Green Greywings but split blue. I'll need to check but I think they all will be split Dilute as well Link to comment

I have one question though, if all chicks are going to be Green Greywing then how do I know what ones are yellowface because Green birds have yellowfaces anyway?? I'm a little confused on that part. Also buy the pictures I provided do you agree with the mutations on these two birds? Link to comment
